Classifieds and Scandal

[D Marven]

Hi Guys
        One thing with this site is the acceptance of people buying and
selling insects.

I can accept the collecting for museums and for professional purposes,
but what i can't accept is the buying and selling for profit.

Who keeps track of what can and can't be collected in the world, what
governing bodies are there. Please do not say governments

Who decides when a species is so low that all collecting should cease.
Who takes any notice anyway.

What happens to all the species reared to sell that don't sell is it
like the puppy and kitten trade, if they don't sell drown them.

Will the insect trade end up like the slave or ivory trade.

Lets put an end to this senseless trade for self gratification.
